Arabian Nights: keep that booty covered!

A truly fascinating report this time: "According to the religious edict issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar University’s faculty of Sharia (or Islamic law), “being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage”."

Yep.

Al-Azhar’s fatwa committee chairman Abdullah Megawar is a bit more lenient, arguing "that married couples could see each other naked but should not look at each other’s genitalia and suggested they cover up with a blanket during sex."

It occurs to us that if these guys lightened up just a wee bit, cut loose so to speak, Islamists would be less inclined to blow themselves up in search of 72 virgins. (Hat tip, LGF)
